As you guys all know Nigeria, the defending champions of the African Nations Cup, have failed to qualify for the 2015 edition of the continental tournament. This came after they drew with South Africa 2-2, last night, and Congo beat Sudan 1-0 to snatch up the 2nd spot.
As we all know, Nigeria is a country of football, and you can guess some of the reactions we saw between last night and today. Here are some of them. The Good, The Bad, The Hilarious and The Depressing

The Super Eagles 1980/1994 era thrived on WING PLAY.This set have no pattern, cant score from set pieces and cant string passes together.

Super Eagles players, aside few, completely took things for granted.They see themselves as mega stars who just need to turn up.Complacency.

So we won't be in AFCON 2015? I hope CAF has a new trophy, because we're not returning the one we won in 2013.
